Our schedule is too crazy. Can Actually Sleeping still work for us?
Yes. Every Actually Sleeping plan is written by Dr. Sam around your family’s real life, including work schedules, travel and other children. Parents in this video work night shifts, travel for work or parent largely on their own. They describe babies who nap on the go, go down for a nanny or a partner, and stay on track when a nap is missed.
What parents who had this worry say
“It was also based on mine and my husband’s work schedules.”
“I travel for work. He often works a night shift.”
“And nanny can put him down. My husband can put him down.”
“Everything doesn’t have to fall apart when we miss a certain nap or we’re not home at a certain time.”
“I’m able to schedule all of my work calls during her nap time.”
“Life is chaotic. He’s not our only child, and so we’re busy with activities and other things going on.”
Why busy families think sleep help is not for them
Many sleep plans assume a parent at home all day with a predictable routine. If you work shifts, travel, share care with a nanny or grandparent, or have older children with their own activities, that kind of plan looks impossible.
The families in this video had exactly those lives. They describe a plan that fit around them rather than the other way around.
How Actually Sleeping plans around your life
Dr. Sam writes the plan using your real schedule: who does bedtime, which nights a parent is away, where naps happen and what your other children need. The coaching before night one prepares every adult who will be putting the baby down. Daily 1:1 check-ins adjust the plan when life changes, and naps are coached until solid, including naps on the go.
One mom in this video describes raising four boys largely on her own. Another describes a husband who works away from home two to five nights a week. Another schedules her work calls around her baby’s nap time. Each family had a plan written by Dr. Sam around their own household, not a routine they had to rebuild their life to follow. That is how Actually Sleeping works for busy families.

Frequently asked
We work night shifts. Can the plan fit?
Yes. Families in the reviews include parents who work night shifts and odd hours. Dr. Sam writes the plan around your actual work schedules, so it fits the days and nights you really have.
Can a nanny or grandparent follow the plan?
Yes. Families describe babies who go down just as well for a nanny or the other parent. The plan is written so that whoever is putting the baby down can follow it.
What if we miss a nap or are out for the day?
Families in this video describe exactly that, and say things do not fall apart. Naps are coached until solid, including naps on the go, and the plan is built for the days you really have.
